Alright so...I have this friend. I met her not too long ago..About last year during the beginning of the school year. Ever since then we became very close friends. She's nice and funny. Maybe about a few months ago..? I figured out that she's very insecure about the way she looks...
She thinks she's fat, ugly, etc...
I've told her plenty of times that she's pretty but she doesn't really take the compliment. Its understandable. She just doesn't think she looks good. She says I'm pretty at times but then after that calls herself ugly. It's nice and all but it doesn't make me feel nice when she calls herself ugly. She's convinced herself that she looks fat. She's average weight..She looks pretty normal to me..
But no matter what she'll think she's fat. So she wants to be skinny. She's shown me some pictures of what she wants to be like. She showed me a picture of a girl in a certain pose to show her collar bones, hip bones and even her ribs are showing. The girl was incredibly skinny...Which scares me a little...
Her quinceanera is coming up in December and her dress has arrived. She showed me it and it's gorgeous. It's white with a few golden sparkles on it. But she doesn't think it looks good on her. Also to mention that she also does self harm. I didn't notice yesterday but I noticed today that she had a few cuts on her arm. I was a bit afraid to bring it up. So I just need some advice on this..
I don't want her to hurt herself because she thinks she looks bad. She's a really good person...
I've never really had a friend that acted like this before so I need some help on this. Thanks.
Sorry for the long message if you read this.
